The cabinet may be either semi-flush or surface mounted. The cabinet mounts using two key slots
and two 0.250" (6.35 mm) diameter holes located in the backbox. The key slots are located at the
top of the backbox and the two securing holes at the bottom.
Carefully unpack the system and check for shipping damage. Mount the cabinet in a clean, dry,
vibration-free area where extreme temperatures are not encountered. The area should be readily
accessible with sufficient room to easily install and maintain the panel. Locate the top of the cabinet
approximately 5 feet (1.5 m) above the floor with the hinge mounting on the left. Determine the
number of conductors required for the devices to be installed. Sufficient knockouts are provided for
wiring convenience. Select the appropriate knockout(s) and pull the conductors into the box. All
wiring should be in accordance with the National and/or Local codes for fire alarm systems.
2.1 Mounting the Backbox
CAUTION:
!
The circuit board contains static-sensitive components. Always ground yourself with a proper wrist
strap before handling any boards so that static charges are removed from the body. Use static
suppressive packaging to protect electronic assemblies.
To prevent damage to the circuit board and to facilitate backbox mounting, the chassis with main
circuit board and transformer can be easily removed. Loosen the two 3/8" nuts securing the top
flanges of the chassis, then slide the chassis up to free it from the lower tabs. Place the chassis
assembly in a safe location until it can be reinstalled in the backbox.
